Meryl Streep’s nephew charged with strangulation and assault

Acclaimed American actor Meryl Streep’s nephew is facing some serious charges of choking and body-slamming an individual in the Hamptons.

According to reports, Charles Harrison Streep, 31, was accused of choking and body-slamming a man in the midst of a road-rage occurrence that left the victim with a brain injury, as revealed by his brother.

Police revealed that Streep was charged with felonies of strangulation and assault in the middle of the day in downtown East Hampton.

Court papers disclosed that the victim was aged 18 and had driven his red Ford Mustang close to Streep’s Audi convertible around 11:30 am at the intersection of Main Street and The Circle.

Moreover, it was revealed that subsequent to that, Streep reversed the car and followed the victim’s Mustang into a Chase Bank parking lot where they got into a brawl.

As per court docs, the three-time Academy Award winner’s nephew was accused of “striking, grabbing and lifting [the victim] off the ground by the neck with his arms” and “lifting his limp body off the ground and then throwing him to the ground.”

Streep, who fled after the incident, has multiple evidence against him including eyewitness accounts and surveillance footage.
